1967 was the last year for the Shelby Cobras. The GT 350 used the high performance 289 with a COBRA aluminum hi-rise and 715 cfm Holley carb, with a Paxton supercharger as an option. The GT 500 known as the Eleanor (the name Eleanor was given to a 1973 (45 years ago) mach one in the original movie "Gone In 60 Seconds (6 pics)". In the remake it was changed to a highly modified 1967 (51 years ago) Shelby GT500. The original Shelby GT500 was never called the Eleanor) It was equipped with the 428 Police Interceptor, 2 Holley 4 barrel carbs, and headers as an option. 1968 (50 years ago) introduced the Shelby Mustang. Power steering, a single carburetor and hydraulic camshaft made this a muscle car for the masses. The Shelby GT350 Mustang sported a 302 cubic-inch V8 while the GT500 came equipped with the 428 cubic-inch Police Interceptor engine. In Feb. 1968 (50 years ago), the GT500KR "King of the Road" debuted; under the hood was a 428 cubic-inch Cobra Jet V8 which was conservatively rated at 335 horsepower (250 kW). Due to a production strike, some early 1968 (50 years ago) GT500's had a 390 cubic-inch V8. Also in 1968 (50 years ago), production of Shelby Mustangs switched from Shelby's shop in California to A.O. Smith Company in Michigan.
